Default st170 rumbling

Hi all,
Just fixed one problem to find another.....

When driving over 30 mph, a low frequency ''wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh'' noise appears and the faster I go the quicker the noise gets.

Its coming from the front, so I've checked the bearings and I've changed the front discs as they were due anyway.

The noise is still there. It still stops in a straight line and doesn't wander off the road under acceleration.

I've had the tracking done and the wheels rebalanced and now I'm at a loss as to what to look for next?

Any ideas?

I've just had a similar thing with my mine and after months of trying to work out what it was I changed the discs and pads (as the noise started after I fitted a new set previously) and the noise (thank god) has now stopped.

Guessing the disc was warped or something!

Yeah as above some times tyres go slightly out of shape swap the wheels front to back to see if the noise follows
